Born in Ohio in 1928, Cox attended the University of Akron.[2] He was serving as mayor of Barberton, Ohio, when he opted to run for an open seat in the Ohio House of Representatives in 1972.[3] He ended up being reelected in 1974. In 1976, Senator David Headley announced his retirement, and Cox won election to his Ohio Senate seat.[4]
In 1982, Cox considered a run for Ohio Treasurer,[5] and eventually entered the race.[6] However, he lost the primary nomination.[7] While defeated in the treasurer's election, new Ohio GovernorDick Celeste announced soon after that he would appoint Cox as the Director for the Department of Public Safety.[8]
Celeste again appointed Cox as Department of Commerce Director in 1985.[9] Two years later, he left state government to work as a private consultant. He went on to return to his roots, running for Barberton City Council in 1993 and winning a seat, and has since advocated for his local communities.
